@martong 
Thanks for your inlines. I'll update the patch.



================
Comment at: clang/unittests/StaticAnalyzer/RangeSetTest.cpp:81
   const llvm::APSInt &from(BaseType X) {
-    llvm::APSInt Dummy = Base;
-    Dummy = X;
-    return BVF.getValue(Dummy);
+    static llvm::APSInt Base{sizeof(BaseType) * 8,
+                             std::is_unsigned<BaseType>::value};

I am always skeptical about using`CHAR_BIT`, beacuse it represents bit number in `char`. And what if it would be 16 for instance (aka 2 bytes). But my intention is to get an amount of bits for a particular type. And I want something to represent a number of bits in a byte as a fundamental unit, but not something that depends on a `char` size on a particular platform.
I would better introduce something like `constexpr size_t BITS_IN_BYTE = 8;`.
